It doesn't matter, it will still rock.

Agree with GOC but have always liked The Trees and I definately liked the inclusion of Red Barchetta. Have fun!

I like The Trees, but I've heard it so many times in concert that I'd rather hear a differend oldie but goody.

I'm with you on that one, they seem to play The Trees at every show and I've grown tired of it, although it is a great song. I remember the first time I saw Rush on their Counterparts tour they played songs like Force Ten and Time Stand Still. Although not really "oldies" I wouldn't mind hearing either of those two songs live again.

If they want to break out some great oldies, they could play Cygnus X-1 or Hemispheres in their entirety. I remember when they played 2112 in its entirety a few tours back, I thought the old fans' heads were going to explode in joy. They could do a tour where they only play songs clocking in at 10+ minutes, that could be interesting.

Force Ten or Time Stand Still would be fun to hear. I'd love to insert Jacob's Ladder, The Camera Eye, The Pass and La Villa. I know that La Villa has been played a lot, but I can never get enough. Besides, its always interesting to hear what Big Al is going to make up for that night.

I think they played the Pass on the Rush in Rio dvd. I've seen them do La Villa a couple times and Lerxst is always hilarious during his spoken word part. In one of their early dvds, may have been Exit Stage Left, they actually censor him during that part like he's saying something really offensive. The one song I'll probably never see them do and really want to see is Xanadu. Or they could play "I Think I'm Losing my Hair" and watch the crowd riot (one of the few songs Geddy wrote, a good sign that he should stick to bass playing).

Great show last night. A couple of little glitches that I noticed, but the guys seemed to be in good spirits.

We had a different outro last night. It had Alex as the genie head with Jerry Stiller popping in there for a moment. Very funny.

Geddy is the best-200 baseballs worth several millions-and he gives them away with a smile.

That is class!

This is as good of a place to put it as anywhere, but Rush is getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. My only hop is that it is next to John Stamos', because that would truly be an honor.

LOS ANGELES - Hollywood will enshrine an eclectic bunch in its famous curbside Walk of Fame next year, including Hugh Jackman, Ben Kingsley, The Village People and Tinkerbell.

Recipients of the sidewalk stars also include Felicity Huffman, William H. Macy, Cameron Diaz, Robert Downey Jr., Tim Burton, Leslie Caron, Charles Durning, Ralph Fiennes, William Petersen, Kyra Sedgwick, John Stamos, Mark Burnett, Chuck Lorre, Kenny "Baby Face" Edmonds, Dave Koz, The Miracles, Doug Morris, Rush, Shakira, KFI radio personality Bill Handel and KCRW host Harry Shearer, who also provides voices for characters on "The Simpsons."

The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce's Walk of Fame Committee chose the recipients, who were ratified by the board of directors Thursday.
